Great, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. All of the edge values are strings (in a Text object) and point to and from vertices with Text IDs, but none of the values should be greater than 60 bytes or so during the loading step. The size will increase during computation because I am modifying the values of the edges, but the actual size of the data is not too large.
Given that I am using text based IDs and values, it looks to me like I may have to implement my own edge store-- does that seem right?

I am running into an issue during superstep -1 when the edges are being loaded-- I receive a "java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException" exception. This occurs near the end of when the edges should be done loading-- by my estimate, I believe around 1b out of the 1.2b have been loaded. The exception occurs on one of the workers, and all of the other workers subsequently halt loading before I kill the job. The issue doesn't occur with half of the dataset (300 million edges, 600 million total with the reverser). The only reference I've found to this particular exception type is GIRAPH-821 ([1]https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-821), which suggests to enable the useBigDataIOForMessages flag. I would be surprised if it helped, because this error occurs during the loading superstep, and there are no "super vertices" in my traversal computation. Enabling this flag had no effect. Any help on this would be appreciated.
